Plus, what exactly does “aging gracefully” mean when women get dragged no matter what they do, Kimora Lee revisits three messy marriages, Jay-Z gets reflective (again), and a disturbing Cornell lawsuit has Demi unable to distinguish who the "good" guys are.
Misguided Righteousness, A Balanced Breakfast & Not Enough Dara

Jasmine Lost the Plot, Boosie Lost His Money & Papoose Lost His Mind
35:31|Jasmine Crockett lost the plot, Boosie got reverse scammed, and Papoose is still doing everything except signing divorce papers. Plus, RIP to fashion god Bob Mackie—and Mitch McConnell is actually alive. Sort of.
Jill Scott’s Bra, The Constitution Under Attack & LA’s Crack Era Is Back
28:54|We’re talking government censorship, Jill Scott’s gravity-defying bosom, and whether 1990s LA was really as wild as The Drop makes it look. Plus, P-Valley is finally back after four long years and Kennedy Ryan is collecting checks in every direction.
5 Blocks, 5 Babies & $1,000 for Beyoncé’s Box
37:09|25 years after 9/11, Demetria remembers living five blocks from the World Trade Center. Plus: Ciara’s fifth baby, Beyoncé’s $1,000 box, a long-awaited visit to the Obama Center, and a deathly penis injection.
Feminism, Fraud & Football
18:36|Demi survived Ghana, a US road trip and jet lag just in time to discuss the important things: Aaron Pierre and the very Black Lanterns, Ryan Clark's post-ESPN glow-up, the passing of feminist icon Gloria Steinem, and a man who allegedly convinced women he was an NFL player despite one tiny problem—HE WASN'T ON THE ROSTER.
